Ben Reed 8b83185130 Fix HTML/XML contamination in WordPress markdown extraction

- Update base_scraper.py convert_to_markdown() to properly clean HTML
- Remove script/style blocks and their content before conversion
- Strip inline JavaScript event handlers
- Clean up br tags and excessive blank lines
- Fix malformed comparison operators that look like tags
- Add comprehensive HTML cleaning during content extraction (not after)
- Test confirms WordPress content now generates clean markdown without HTML

This ensures all future WordPress scraping produces specification-compliant
markdown without any HTML/XML contamination.
